After all, Waddon and other wards in the north of Croydon are likely to suffer more than any where else from the fumes, particulates and other pollution that gets pumped out from a working incinerator in such a built-up area.

And Hoar and his Waddon Conservative colleagues, Tony Harris and the shrill builders’ lobbyist Clare Hilley, did have a natty line in posters of their own, when they promised to oppose the building of any incinerator “or anything similar” in or on the borders of Croydon.

That was when they were canvassing for residents’ votes.

Once re-elected, all three duly voted in favour of building the incinerator.
